A special night at the softball field as we honored the incredible educators who’ve made a lasting impact on our players’ lives!
Last week, each Bearcat invited a teacher who has shaped their journey to join us for Teacher Appreciation Night—and presented them with a jersey to proudly wear.
Tonight, our educators showed off their skills by throwing out the first pitch! We’re so grateful for the dedication, inspiration, and heart our educators bring every day. Thank you for being such an important part of our students’ lives—on and off the field. #BearcatPride
